Day and night tour

Chapter 163 Hall Order
The words written on the "Clearing of Wrongs" scroll represent that the "clearing of wrongs" has officially taken effect.

Whether the injustice is cleared or not is related to the number of times Zhou Xuan enters the Totem Hall. At present, his number of times is not many. When he sees "Obsession", he is naturally like a cat seeing a fish. He must eat the fish into his stomach before he is satisfied.

“I hope that this time, the injustice can be cleared successfully.”

Once a person starts making wishes for the outcome of something, it usually means that the matter is a bit tricky.

This is the case with the monk who cooks wine.

In previous cases of exoneration, as long as Zhou Xuan agreed to exonerate himself, the obsession with the injustice would lead Zhou Xuan to the place where the injustice occurred, and then use the ability of the exoneration scroll to enter the time gap to return to the scene of the injustice, so that he could see the whole story clearly.

But this time, Zhou Xuan was determined to clear his name, and the wine-boiling monk's obsession disappeared... disappeared... like a kite in the sky, flying well, but suddenly with a "bang", the string broke, and then a gust of wind blew up, and the kite disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, there are still some clues.

The Wine-Boiling Monk was a famous monk of the Qiye Temple. The reason why Zhou Xuan saw Zhinian was that he had a tattoo of the abbot of the Qiye Temple.

This means that the scene of this injustice must have been in Qiye Temple.

"We have to go to the Qiye Temple to have a look. Besides, this tattoo of the 'flower-picking handprint' cannot be used until the grievance is resolved."

Zhou Xuan spread out the tattoo again. It was still a goat horn handprint, but the handprint was not right. It would be strange if the tattoo could be used.

"Let's ask Hall Master Si to lead the way."

You have to find a good reason to let Siming lead the way, otherwise he would find it too troublesome and just get another monk ghost for Zhou Xuan. He is too lazy to go to Qiye Temple, and Zhou Xuan still lacks a good guide.

"I have to make up a story and try to pin the reason for going to Qiye Temple on Si Yuer. The Si Hall Master is a daughter slave... This method is reasonable."

Zhou Xuan secretly made up many lies, such as "The wine-boiling monk's tattoo has an 80% to 90% chance of curing Si Yuer's madness", "The cure for madness all depends on the wine-boiling monk, once and for all", etc.

If you find out later that you can't be cured... How can you be 100% sure of your death? At worst, I can think of another way for you!
Thinking of this, he opened the door of Fuyuan Hall.

At this time, Si Yuer, Si Ming and Liu Qingguang were all chatting about what they thought was a "secret" in a pavilion not far away.

When I saw Zhou Xuan,
The three of them came over at the same time.

"Cough, cough!"

The beginning of a dry cough meant that Zhou Xuan was about to become eloquent.

He clasped his fists towards Siming and said, "Master Si, we may have to go to Qiye Temple."

Siming lowered his body slightly and said respectfully, "Then I have to go with you."

"...It may be a bit troublesome to spy on the secrets of Qiye Temple." Zhou Xuan added.

First, explain the difficulties in doing things in general, and then give the reasons, to prevent Siming from changing his mind at the last minute when he arrives at Qiye Temple, and things from being stuck. The "guide" will quit first, which will hurt Zhou Xuan's morale.

"I'm never afraid of trouble. Young Master is worried about my daughter, so I, as the head of the hall, will definitely return the favor."

Are you so cooperative? I haven't even started to make up my reasons yet?
And Master Si, why are you suddenly so flowery, using two idioms in one sentence!
"Without further delay, young master, let's go. Lao Liu, you go back to the main hall first. There are many things to do in the hall. I will accompany the young master."

Siming waved and said.

Liu Qingguang: “…”

Hall Master, you can't cross the river and burn the bridge. Otherwise, how can I, Old Liu, with my gourd eyes, know that the young master is the reincarnation of the Buddha? I, Old Liu, also want to have more contact with the young master, at least to get a little bit of Buddha's aura.

Buddhist spirit is hard currency in Jing Country.

For gods and immortals, it can be directly converted into incense.

Half of Zhou Xuan's first incense stick was burned by relying on his Buddha nature.

For Yin people, Buddha's energy cannot be directly converted into incense, but the ability to "stabilize the mind" alone is worth pursuing by Yin people.

Yin people are contaminated by evil spirits day and night, and their minds are unstable. They are often bewitched by strange ghosts and evil spirits. If they can get some Buddha's spirit to help stabilize them at the critical moment, their path to worship will be much smoother.

This is what Liu Qingguang thought.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry back to the main hall." Seeing that Liu Qingguang was not leaving, Siming urged him again.

Liu Qingguang's back teeth were almost broken, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart: OK, OK, OK, you are the hall master...you are two levels higher in rank and you can crush people...If I see this kind of opportunity again, I will definitely not speak up!
He sighed, regretting the missed opportunity, and walked out with heavy steps. After taking two steps, Zhou Xuan suddenly called Liu Qingguang.

"Old Liu, wait."

When Liu Qingguang heard Zhou Xuan calling him, he quickly turned his head and was overjoyed.

Am I so lucky today that the young master wants to appoint me as his companion?

"What do you want, young sir?"

"Oh, I have a lot of things to do today, so I won't delay you from going back to the headquarters to do some work..."

Liu Qingguang felt very depressed as he still didn't get any favor.

"But, from now on, look around the streets more often. If you see any strange people with your eyes, let me know and I can pay you."

Now that Zhou Xuan knew that Liu Qingguang’s eyes could see obsession, he felt that he had an extra helper on the road to clearing his name.

The chances of finding your obsession by yourself are too small.

Moreover, he had no way of seeing the obsession clearly. He could only see it when the obsession resonated with the Cleansing Wrongs Talisman.

Compared with Liu Qingguang, he can only be regarded as a "blind man".

"Old Liu is a talented person, we must keep him on our side."

With this idea in mind, Zhou Xuan repeatedly emphasized "reward" - it's not about working for nothing, there will be rewards.

But Liu Qingguang didn't pay any attention to the word "reward". He felt that being able to follow Zhou Xuan and be influenced by the Buddha's spirit was the most important thing for him.

Reward is just money, right?

Old Liu is not short of money.
What has been the most profitable thing since ancient times?

Cheating, cheating and stealing!
If someone from a gang of thieves is short of money, he will be laughed at by his peers in the underworld.

Furthermore,

The thieves' gang makes a lot of money for Gu Lao, so they already have a lot of benefits. The people in charge of the gang are all rich, so they have no shortage of money.

"By the way, regarding the reward, I have only been settled in Mingjiang Prefecture for a short time, and my pockets are a bit empty. I may not be able to give out much money, so I can only provide a little Buddhist energy and Yin Sha energy..."

Zhou Xuan was not making a promise casually. His tattoo could indeed provide relevant aura.

Especially the evil spirit. Apart from the tattoos, he also has the "Twelve Dharma Aspects of the Ancestral Witch", a breathing method specially designed for evil people. Although he has only mastered two of the Dharma Aspects so far, it can already provide great help in absorbing the evil spirit.

Fifth Senior Brother is the best proof!

If I get to know Liu Qingguang better in the future, and he helps me find enough obsessions, it is not impossible to teach him a few tricks.

Zhou Xuan's promise of reward almost made Liu Qingguang jump up on the spot.

"God have mercy on me, God have mercy on me!"

Liu Qingguang was so excited.
He had been a lantern in the thieves' hall for more than 20 years. Why? It was because his incense was not high enough!

He had double pupils in his eyes and was extremely gifted in "eyesight", but when it came to worshipping gods in secret, he had no talent to speak of. After many years, he had only burned a little over four incense sticks.

Whenever he wanted to raise the level of his worship, either the "things" he saw would disturb him with their whispers, or he himself did not absorb enough evil energy and could not make any progress at all.

If there is the "Buddha's spirit" and "Yin Sha spirit" provided by Zhou Xuan, the incense will be raised to a higher level... I dare not even think about it!
Liu Qingguang almost laughed out loud when he thought of the "brilliant future".

"Then I would like to thank you in advance, young sir. I will do my best to help you in the future." Liu Qingguang's thanks were without skill, but full of emotion.

"I'm not a person who likes to make empty promises. This... is a deposit first."

Zhou Xuan took out the "eye" tattoo from his pocket and handed it to Liu Qingguang.

Zhou Xuan originally sold this tattoo to Lao Yang to help him win money playing cards. However, who would have thought that Lao Yang, a casino novice, couldn't even beat either team.

Ever since Zhou Xuan found the eye tattoo from under Old Lady Liu's body, he never gave it to Old Yang and kept it in his pocket.

Now it’s just the deposit for Liu Qingguang.

Liu Qingguang took the eye tattoo, but didn't know how to use it, so he scratched his head in confusion.

Zhou Xuan then taught him, "Old Liu, drop a drop of blood between the eyes of the tattoo."

"Oh...I'll try!"

Old Liu originally wanted to find a sharp object to prick his finger and then drip blood, but Zhou Xuan, Si Ming and Si Yuer were standing around him, and he didn't want to leave a sissy impression in front of everyone, so he bit his middle finger and dripped a drop of blood between his eyes.

"Close your eyes." Zhou Xuan said.

As soon as Old Liu closed his eyes, he discovered a new world. Everything that the tattooed eye saw was clearly displayed in his mind.

"An eye outside the body?"

Old Liu finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted out of control.

A thief’s eyes must be sharp, but no matter how sharp they are, they can never be brighter than “three eyes”.

The "eye" tattoo is not only suitable for gamblers, but also for thieves.

"I want to have eyes outside my body, haha... If the kidnapper 'Ying San'er comes to step on my territory again, I, Old Liu, will kill him!"

Old Liu made a bold statement.

"You thieves and kidnappers are not getting along?" Zhou Xuan asked Siming.

"We have never gotten along. Our sect has been suppressed by the kidnappers for many years. I am also very angry... Could it be that the young master..."

Siming was afraid that Zhou Xuan had connections with the Guaizi Gang.

"How can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air? I have a deep hatred for the kidnapper." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

"Lao Liu, make it clear to all the brothers that if the beggar steps on our territory again, we will beat him to death!"

"I won't let them off." Old Liu agreed, and was very excited when looking at the tattoo in his hand. He had also been suppressed by "Ying Saner" for many years and hated him.

But that "Shadow San'er" had mastered the essence of the methods of the Guaizitang, especially the first two incense sticks, which he walked very steadily and solidly.

"Leaving no trace on the grass" and "Gale of wind" are the two low-level tricks that Ying Saner used very skillfully. Normally, he seems to "come and go without a trace". Lao Liu's eyes can see dirt, but his eyesight is not fast enough. He always fails to keep an eye on Ying Saner's figure and is bullied.

Now that he has an extra eye, he doesn’t believe he can’t keep an eye on it.

"Ying San'er better not act like a jerk these two days, otherwise he will come in upright and leave sideways."

Liu Qingguang limped out of the Si Mansion happily after Zhou Xuan pointed out the taboos and offerings of "eye tattoo".

Along the way, Liu Qingguang hummed old operas and was very happy. A few days ago, he was pierced through the leg by Siming and thought he was going to fail. Who would have thought that good times would come after bad times!

"God has been very kind to me... a great fate sent from heaven!"

……

Liu Qingguang's relationship had already been established, so Zhou Xuan made an appointment with Si Ming and Si Yuer, and took the Si family's car to go to Qiye Temple.

In the car, Si Yuer and Zhou Xuan got along very well, at least that's what she thought.

Si Yuer likes to read martial arts novels and yearns for stories about knights who roam the world on horseback and have brave swords and musical hearts.

Zhou Xuan told her about The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
"In that unknown dynasty, there were five top masters, collectively known as the East Evil, West Poison, South Emperor, North Beggar, and Central Divine Power..."

"The East Evil Huang Yaoshi is extremely talented. He is proficient in martial arts, literature, arithmetic, medicine, divination and astrology. He has the magical power of snapping fingers and the Falling Flower Sword Palm, and is unrivaled in the martial arts world..."

"The Beggar of the North is the leader of the Beggars' Sect. He is a great hero in the world. He is a master of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and is extremely masculine and strong... He is also a glutton. He loves food more than martial arts. He sneaks into the palace at night just for the delicious food and wine..."

Zhou Xuan didn't really teach Si Yuer the book, he just talked about some settings in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which made Si Yuer fascinated.

After all, Mr. Jin Yong was a martial arts giant in the past. Although some spam forums often have heated arguments over whether "Jin is the first and Gu is the second" or "Gu is the first and Jin is the second", regardless of who is the first and who is the second, Mr. Jin is an indispensable monument in the martial arts world. Since Jin's books have been published, there is no reason why Si Yuer, a "little martial arts fan", cannot be subdued.

"There are five great masters among the great men, and some lesser masters among the great men. Among the well-known heroes in the martial arts world, there are the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. The number one among the Seven Freaks is the Flying Bat Ke Zhenwu..."

Zhou Xuan didn't say anything and continued to fill in the settings for Si Yuer. After that, he started to talk about the main text.

Since it doesn't go into detail, the progress is fast. It tells the story of the snowstorm in Niujia Village, the eighteen-year bet between the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Qiu Chuji, and the Seven Freaks going to the desert to find Guo Jing... During the story, Si Yuer sometimes cried and sometimes applauded...

When the car had already stopped in front of the Qiye Temple, and Zhou Xuan just happened to talk about "the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan risked their lives to ambush the Black Wind Twins", Si Yuer begged Siming if he could let the car circle the temple a few more times...

Siming felt that it was not a good idea. After all, it was important for the young man to do his work. How could he sit in the car and listen to stories instead of doing his work?

Zhou Xuan also smiled and said, "Miss Si, the Seven Monsters fighting the Bronze Corpse and the Iron Corpse is the highlight. I told you about it in a hurry and didn't feel deeply. Why don't you come to my shop next time and I will tell you about it in detail. I guarantee that there will be branches and vines, and it will be a good start and a good end, and it will definitely satisfy you."

It has been a long time since Zhou Xuan last told stories, but today when Si Yuer suddenly talked about "The White-Eyebrowed Hero", he seemed to have found his big name again - the storyteller who was very popular in Pingshui Prefecture for "several days".

Since Si Yuer likes to listen to it so much, the story would lose a lot of flavor if I just tell the outline. It would be better to meet her in the store and tell the story in a structured manner.

Si Yuer still wanted to "fight the two evil spirits of Black Wind", but Zhou Xuan said it sincerely, so she couldn't beg him anymore and had to give up.

After the car stopped, Si Ming, Zhou Xuan and Si Yuer got out and entered the temple.

Along the way, the one with the most complicated emotions was Siming.

Liu Qingguang and Si Yuer were simply delighted. Old Liu got the promise of "Buddha's energy and evil spirit" and also got an "eye tattoo". It was like he came to Si's house to purchase goods, so he was naturally very happy.

As for Si Yuer, she listened to Zhou Xuan's narration of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Although it was not a formal narration, she was completely immersed in it. She looked radiant and was simply delighted.

As for Siming, he was happy of course, but not for himself.

For example, Siming didn’t really need the “bargaining chip” that Zhou Xuan gave to Liu Qingguang...at least he thought he didn’t really need it.

What Buddha's energy or evil energy? He felt that if the incense was of a low level, one might benefit a lot.

But he had been looking forward to it for many years, and he still couldn't find the way. He asked many great yin masters and gods for guidance, but he couldn't get the key.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The hope that I have held for so many years has long been shattered by time.

As a result, he has lost interest in the increase of incense offerings, especially in recent years. He has positioned himself as the manager of the temple and a professional businessman.

So, he was happy for Liu Qingguang, but not envious.

For example, when Zhou Xuan was reading to his daughter, ever since Si Yuer went crazy, although she loved to laugh and was happy when she was normal, she was indeed unprecedentedly happy like today.

Siming loves his daughter. When his daughter is happy, he is happy too.

But it is difficult for Siming to find happiness from his own perspective, as he thinks a lot.

For example, along the way, Siming always wanted to confirm whether Zhou Xuan was the reincarnation of the Buddha.

Although the wine-boiling monk kowtowed three times to Zhou Xuan, the evidence was conclusive, which made him feel incredible and he speculated that "Zhou Xuan was the reincarnation of the Buddha."

But it's just speculation.

It would be great if there was some way to confirm that Zhou Xuan was indeed the reincarnation of the Buddha.

He was thinking about how to verify it along the way, and his mood became more and more complicated.

The Big Buddha is so important.

Not to mention the importance of Jiang Mansion, the existence of the Buddha is also extremely important across the country.

This is related to the strength and status of the hall.

In the Well Country, every hall is connected to the White Walkers and the gods.

The order of the halls was determined according to the strength of the White Walkers and the gods.

Unless the power of the White Walkers and gods behind them continues to grow, or the hall is affiliated with a more powerful organization or hall, the order of the halls will hardly change.

Siming wanted to take the "Thief" gang one step further, just one step further would be enough.
He is not that ambitious, and it is unlikely for him to surpass the "City God" of Mingjiang Prefecture, who is the biological son of the Bone Elders Association.

It is unlikely to surpass the "Miko", which is one of the nine oldest halls.

But can it rank behind these two halls and remain firmly in third place in Mingjiang Prefecture?
At present, it is quite difficult, but if there is a big Buddha behind the "thief" hall, the situation will be different.

The status of the Big Buddha is even slightly higher than that of gods and ghosts, but there is no temple built for the Big Buddha and no direct inheritance.

The big Buddha becomes the backer of the hall, which helps the hall to gain a foothold and steadily improve its status.

"The status of the hall is related to interests, huge interests."

The higher the status of the hall, the more "order" it can control. From a secular perspective, it means more territory and bigger business.

This is still positive feedback.

More territories and bigger businesses mean more disciples in the hall.

The more disciples there are, the more popular the temple will be.

Isn't it for these incense offerings that the strange walkers and gods behind the temple set up the temple?

With more incense burning, the power of the strange walkers and gods behind the hall will be further strengthened.

A positive feedback cycle begins.

Like a beggar, although there is no big Buddha behind him, he also relies on the support of the big hall to gain power.

Of course, the kidnapper also found a third way - "management".

Although the kidnapper's gang had surpassed the "thief" gang in popularity ten years ago, he often bullied the "thief" gang on weekdays, which made Siming very angry.

But Siming admired the leader of the kidnapper's hall very much.

The hall master's management strategy for his disciples is truly brilliant.

This thought,
Siming's mood became even more complicated.

"Why don't I have the patience and courage of the kidnapper hall master?"

Siming could only choose to bet the "treasure" that would improve the rank of the hall on the fact that Zhou Xuan was the reincarnation of the Great Buddha.

"Young sir, you must be a big Buddha. If you are a big Buddha, the Thief Hall is willing to connect the incense with you."

Siming started making a wish in his heart before he even entered the temple.

"This temple is really a bit strange."

Zhou Xuan's words while standing at the temple gate interrupted Siming's thoughts.

Siming asked, "Why is it strange?"

“It’s not the real Buddha’s energy.”

Zhou Xuan felt that the Buddhist aura in Qiye Temple was similar to the Buddhist aura in the sheep-horn tattoo and the Buddhist aura in the Star-Covering Mantra. It was very fake and only had a superficial appearance.

"Perhaps it's because the feeling outside the temple is a little off. Why don't you go inside the temple and feel it?"

Zhou Xuan thought it made sense, and strode into the temple. Just as he reached the door, he seemed to hit a wall of air and was bounced back by an invisible force.

"Are you still blocking me from entering?"

Zhou Xuan pointed his right hand forward - Buddha's energy is false and invisible, I just ask you, can it stop the gods?

His hand instantly pierced through the barrier of false Buddha energy.

It is like a knife piercing into a taut cloth. After the knife breaks the cloth, the stress balance is broken, and the taut force tears the cloth into two halves in an instant.

Zhou Xuan walked into the Qiye Temple easily.

The process of him breaking through the barrier was too smooth, and the Buddha's aura was too fake. His right hand didn't even bother to emit an obvious blue glow, so Siming didn't see anything special.

However, Si Yuer sensed something and turned her head to stare at Zhou Xuan.

"Brother Zhou."

"how?"

"I suddenly feel that your temperament is so powerful." Si Yuer said blankly.

Zhou Xuan: “…”

……

The three of them entered the temple, and Zhou Xuan broke the invisible Buddha aura at the temple gate. Siming didn't see what was going on, and Si Yuer just felt something, but didn't know what really happened.
But someone discovered that

There is a high platform on the hillside next to Qiye Temple.
A middle-aged man in a black jacket raised his head and looked at the clear blue sky.

“It hasn’t rained for a long time.”

The man was a qigong master. He was sitting on a high platform, naturally observing qi.

The purpose of observing qi is to maintain "order".

In Mingjiang Prefecture, there are many such fortune tellers, each of whom is in charge of an area, ensuring the "order" of the entire Mingjiang.

The "order" changes every year, and each hall is assigned the corresponding order and the corresponding territory.

"Now that the order has been drawn, try not to cross the line."

The weather forecaster said with self-mockery.

In principle, you cannot cross the line, but if it is not too much, he naturally does not care. What is considered crossing the line and how much is considered crossing the line, the qi-watcher has a "standard" in his mind.

As long as it is within the standard, everything will be peaceful.

If it exceeds the limit, he will report it.

Of course, if he gets some huge benefits in private, he will continue to increase the "scale" until it can't be increased anymore - if he increases it further, it will alarm the Yushen Division.

"Om."

The qi-gazer suddenly sensed something strange, as if there was a wave of air coming from a distance, hitting the qi-gazing platform and causing it to tremble slightly.

"Is there any movement?"

The qi-gazer looked in the direction of the qi wave and saw a faint blue color appearing in the "Seven Leaves Temple".

Only those who are naturally sensitive to the smell can become a qi-gazer.

For the sake of fairness, the fortune tellers are selected from various halls in Mingjiang.

Of course, fairness is relative. As the most powerful sect in Mingjiang Prefecture, the "City God", the son of the Gu Lao Hui, has the most fortune tellers.

This fortune teller came from the "City God".

"The order of Qiye Temple seems to have changed!"

The fortune teller took out a talisman paper, held it in his hand, and wanted to stain the talisman with blood so as to report to the City God - someone was disrupting the order of the Qiye Temple.

However, when he looked again, he seemed to feel that apart from the light blue aura just now, there seemed to be not much movement in the Qiye Temple.

"Did I see it wrong just now?"

The fortune teller took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a mixture of cow blood and snake blood, and wrote a "卍" character on the face.

Using the Buddhist "卍" character for blessing, you can increase the accuracy of observing the Buddha's energy in Qiye Temple.

The Qi-gazer began to observe Qiye Temple carefully...
